Paladins aren't all stupid, either.
After receiving orders from Locks to clear the battlefield, some of them entered the stronghold, intending to count their losses. Although it seemed that the dark people were so greedy that they didn't even leave them a fork, they still counted everything here so that they could give an answer if someone from above sent them to ask.
However, in the colony, the paladins soon noticed that something was wrong. At the time of the inventory, they now had blood stains in many places, and it was not long ago. This indicates that someone was killed in the stronghold, which is not surprising, but strangely enough, they could not find the bodies of those people nearby. This surprised the paladins, and after a careful search, they finally found the corpses in the basement of the colony, but ...............
Walking into the underground passage, a pungent, disgusting smell came to my face. Locks frowned, using the firelight to look at the dimly dark passage in front of him. I saw that under the reflection of the firelight, the originally quiet and neat passage had completely changed its appearance, and the viscous, dim yellow mucus-like secretion object was wrapped around the wall like this, east and west, exuding an unpleasant smell. As far as the eye can see, the entire underground passage is extremely dim, and even if there is firelight, it looks lifeless. The smell of evil and death filled it, forming an inaudible groan of sorrow in the ears.
It's disgusting.
Seeing the space in front of him wrapped in viscous liquid, Locks couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea, but even so, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, but strode towards it.
This was originally a place to store food in the supply base, and the dark area is no better than the surface, and there is no place for you to hunt rabbits and wild deer to roast and eat. Therefore, the Order's supplies were all transported from the ground, and of course, Jenn unceremoniously took all the orders directly, taking everything he could, not even a bag of wheat flour left. Naturally, the entire warehouse was empty......... It's weird!
"What the hell is this?"
Walking into the warehouse and looking at the scene in front of him, even Locks couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and looked at Yiqiē inside with a surprised gaze.
In front of him, in the originally empty warehouse, dozens of white, egg-like objects were erected on the ground. However, unlike normal eggs, these are not real eggs, instead, Locks is keenly aware that these eggs now have petal-like openings at the tops, and inside are the hollows of black holes. It seems that something should have been hatching in it before, and then it came out to become what it is now.
Not only that, but what attracted Locks the most was the wall in front of him wrapped in a sticky substance, on the wall, soldiers were wrapped in slime, their faces were pale, their eyes and mouths were wide open. The look of fear on his face was terrifying just to look at, but to Locks' grief was that he had no chance of rescuing them from their misery -- they were all dead.
"Your Excellency."
Seeing Locks' arrival, the other paladins in the warehouse also hurriedly greeted him, but they were pale, as if something terrible had happened.
"What happened?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Locks asked in a low voice. Soon, a paladin stepped forward and gave him an answer.
It turned out that after that, these paladins also found the underground warehouse, and then appeared in front of them. In the beginning, they were more concerned with the deaths of their colleagues than with the eggs that stood on the ground. But soon, the eggs, which originally seemed to have no movement, actually began to move, hatching a large number of monsters and attacking the paladins!!
"Monsters?"
"That's right, this is it!"
As he spoke, the paladin picked up a white bug with his sword and placed it in front of Locks, which looked like some kind of creature from the Dark Regions, with a fat and flat body, and three pairs of insect-like legs. But now that the bodies of these insects have been cut open, and the stiff appearance of their bodies shows that they are clearly dead.
"Are these monsters powerful?"
"It's not very powerful, it's just disgusting......... If you don't know it, these insects want to hug our faces as soon as they come up, and it's disgusting. ”
"It's not hurt."
Hearing his subordinates' answers, Locks immediately asked. However, in the face of his inquiry, his subordinates shook their heads.
"It's all right, sir. It's just that a few brothers accidentally got on the road, but they didn't have any big problems, they just felt a little disgusting. But these insects are really weird, they are creatures of the dark region, and I feel a chill down my spine just by seeing these things......... I don't know where these things came from. ”
“……………”
The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and perhaps for the paladin, he only complained a little. But hearing his words, a gleam flashed in Locks' eyes, and there was a little doubt in his look when he looked at the eggs. Yes, there were more than fifty eggs here, and he didn't know of any monster that could lay so many eggs in such a short period of time. And judging from the traces of the previous investigation, from the beginning to the end of the battle, counting the time for them to come back, it would only be a few hours to fight and count, and in such a short period of time, the opponent not only had to defeat the enemy, but also searched for the supplies of the stronghold, and at the same time placed so many strange insect eggs here............... Then again, why put the eggs here?
Locks was also puzzled, he didn't know that some people would deliberately put the cubs of some powerful monsters on the enemy's side to lure them to find the cubs. In this way, the other party will have to fight with Warcraft, after all, the races are different and the language is not comprehensible, and it is better to say that there is a druid or elf, otherwise the two sides will have to fight in confusion......... Could it be that these enemies also have this ghost idea, secretly stuffing the eggs of some monster in the dark region to their side in an attempt to cause trouble?
"Do you see any other monsters?"
"No, sir."
"I see."
Locks nodded, and soon gave the order again.
"Clean up all the qiē here and let these evils completely turn to ashes!!"
"Yes!!"
Walking out of the stinking tunnel again, Locks shook his head helplessly, the surprise attack on the supply base this time really made it difficult for him to sleep. The fact that the other party was able to find this place showed that it was very likely that he and the others had been under their surveillance since a long time ago, which could be regarded as a big impact on the mission of the God of War Temple. I wonder if the people who attacked the stronghold this time had something to do with the evil that the oracle pointed out in? If that's the case...............
"Your Excellency............ My lord............!! ”
Just as Locks was thinking hard, he saw the shouts of his subordinates coming from in front of him again, which made him sigh helplessly and look towards the place where the voice came from. It seems that I am really unlucky today, and I have basically not encountered anything good until now.........
"What's wrong again?"
Looking at his subordinate B, who was panting and running to report the news, Locks felt a little surprised. Unlike the previous guys who were crying and shouting with a dejected face, although this guy also looked in a hurry, there was a bit of joy between his eyebrows. This is really strange, now that the entire supply base has been wiped out, why is he still so happy?
"That's right, my lord, we're the murderers!!"
"Oh?"
Rockton was shocked when he heard this.
"What's going on?"
"That's ..............."
In the face of Locks' inquiry, the paladin did not hesitate and quickly gave an answer.
It turns out that after that, although Locks asked others to clean up the battlefield, not everyone of the paladins was willing to do what they were told. And the death of these stronghold guards was so miserable, which made those paladins more and more angry the more they looked at it, and in the end, there were still a few young and vigorous people who couldn't bear this breath and decided to sneak along the place where the other party left to explore it and see if they could find any clues. So these paladins followed the traces left by Jenn and others all the way under the leadership of a colleague who was good at reconnaissance. They are not fools, they know that the other party is powerful, they will definitely not be able to beat them, but if they can find any clues, know who those people are and where they are hiding, wouldn't it be good to take revenge?
There were no obstacles to the tracking, and it was obvious that the men had evacuated in a hurry, and they didn't have time to hide their tracks. The paladins chased all the way, but just as they were passing through a tunnel, they suddenly encountered a patrol of gray dwarves.
And seeing these paladins, those gray dwarves suddenly brandished their battle axes like crazy and attacked them, and for a while, they were also in a hurry to beat these paladins. It's just that they are strong after all, and they quickly regained their disadvantage and killed a few gray dwarves. The other grey dwarf warriors turned and ran when they saw that the situation was not good. The paladins originally planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but they did not expect to suddenly kill a dark strange and terrifying monster at this time, so that they had to stop, so that they were not able to catch those gray dwarves.
"A dark monster?"
"That's right, sir. Now it looks like the grey dwarves and their monsters are attacking our stronghold, and I think we should muster our forces and kill these damn dwarves!! ”
"I see, let me think about it..............."
Hearing his subordinates' words, Locks nodded reluctantly. While it did sound plausible, Rocks felt that something was not quite right.
